I use to love this series and was sooo disappointed when they cancelled it because of budget. One of the more popular series of all time finally gets a complete DVD collection along with all the trimmings. Farscape was an joint American Australian production and was produced by Jim Henson and Hallmark. One of the charming features of the show was the muppet / puppet creatures featured in the show which was of course the Henson trademark. The show won between 2000 and 2002 two Saturn awards and Best TV actor among many nominations for awards. It also was named in 2007 TV guides #4 on the top cult TV shows.
